While I can certainly appreciate great photography, to me it just seems like an overhyped retro idea coming back to popularity and being over-used. It shouldn't be used for every shot, and most REAL professionals have several cameras and several setups ready for particular events, so I would hope the guys who took these took some other pictures without this overused feature. The first picture was good because it had the people focused as I'm guessing the photographer intended, but SOME of the shots after made it seemed over-used and completely unnecessary. I'm no professional hell I wouldn't even say I'm an amateur but listening to my dad about photography for decades gives me some ability to critique. And if it doesn't then I give myself the right dammit.

This technique is becoming tedius. I hope the fad burns out soon.

However, this bottle was not marked `poison,' so Jenson ventured to taste it, and finding it very nice, (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cough syrup, grenadine, and sweat) he very soon finished off the entire can of Red Bull.

`What a curious feeling!' said Jenson; `I must be shutting up like a telescope.' And so it was indeed: he was now only ten inches high.

@Ash78: Nice. Very literary. Charles Lutwidge Dodgso (aka Lewis Carrol) died in 1898, so he never got to enjoy F1. I like to think he would have liked it. Especially the Mosley/Ecclestone era with all it's bizarreness.

Meanwhile... Max Mosley is in his secret lair with his Nazi Hooker aides.

Max: "Damn them! That Orosz didn't get a single picture of me in Tilt Shift. This is my last year! I need to be remembered for something!"

Nazi Hooker #1:"We can take care of the Crazy Euro Car Boy..."

Nazi Hooker #2: "Yes, we will make him scream..."

Max: "Yes. Yes! Kill the man they call Orosz!"

When you throw a beautiful Korean girl in the first picture, every other picture seems like a POS compared to her. I clicked on it thinking "OOOOOOO MORE KOREANS?" and now I am dissappointed. Thanks alot Ray. I blame it on you. >_>

@Steve Neill: I think she's Japanese, both from her looks (though she does look a little Korean) and the whole thing about it being the Japanese Grand Prix. I've been wrong before though..
